THIS FIERCE PEOPLE The Untold Story of America's Revolutionary War in the South

This action-filled audiobook chronicles a theater of the Revolutionary War that has been given little attention, the struggle fought in the Southern colonies. There the terrain thwarted maneuvers by large detachments of troops and favored militia and crackerjack tactics. By degrees, that strategy demoralized the British and ultimately pushed them to Vicksburg and to a decisive defeat. Given the drama of these events, narrator Cary Hite is a disappointment. He's locked in syntax that overrides the natural shape and purpose of the sentences. Distinctions in tone and emphasis that another narrator would have employed, Hite flattens. Even so, the narrative is arresting and offers a fresh look at a time in history when North and South were partners. D.A.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
